The shows, there is a disappointment compared to last year, and we are not the only ones websites to think. Let’s be clear, for a family who discovers the season and shows this year without reference to the last year they will be quite simply happy by the successful of the stay. But for us, fans who know Disneyland Paris, the experience is below, qualitatively.

La Garden Party de Dingo !
On a là de nombreux problèmes. Le premier, le podium au centre de Central Plaza. Celui-ci est mis en place une heure avant le début des shows. A notre arrivée les équipes de Guest flow (équipe de gestion de flux de visiteurs à Disney), n’arrêtaient pas de faire signe aux visiteurs de ne pas passer par le centre de la place (normal un visiteur voyant un podium donnant sur le château souhaite se faire prendre en photo dessus). Résultat, après 30 mnutes d’incessants « sur les coté s’il vous plait », la décision radicale fut prise de condamner la place. Par conséquence de 10h40 à 13h et de 14h20 à 16h la circulation était difficile sur Central Plaza (et on ne parle même pas de l’intrusion visuelle de l’arrivée et départ du podium dans le parc). Les départements spectacles et artistiques, ont-ils communiqué avec la branche opérationnelle?Goofy’s Garden Party
There where many problems. The first, the podium at the center of Central Plaza. It is set up one hour before the beginning of the shows. On our arrival, the teams of « Guest flow » (Disney team management flow of visitors ), did not stop to sign visitors do not pass through the center of the square (normal a visitor seeing a podium and wish to take a picture with the castle). Result after 30 minutes of incessant « on the side please », the radical decision was taken to condemn the place. As a result from 10:40am to 01:00pm and 02:20 pm to 04:00 pm traffic was difficult on Central Plaza (and we do not even talk about the Visual intrusion of the arrival and departure of the podium in the Park). The departments of shows and artistic, they contacted the operational branch?

For the show we were informed that it was 12 to 15 minutes, like last year. In reality it was only 8 minutes (in being large). Why 8 minutes? It is very simple, 4 to 5 minutes ago of setting up laborious. A real sense of amateurism well away from the 16 minutes of performances made the last year (excluding the setting up).

The unrolled the show is quite different. The launch of music « Sring Fever » the show starts at the centre of Central Plaza while the units to feet arrive the streets. Problem, if we are not in the axis of the Castle, we do not see the beginning of the show in the center that is beautiful. Second problem, the launch of the music of « Welcome to the world of Spring » for the Show Stop, the show on the podium go on the street, leaving at this place, the empty Center of central plaza and visitors with a view of average for the 4:45 remaining minutes of the show (visitor in the center)

Lors de la présentation de la saison on nous avait annoncé, un show stop, des décors non animés et des danseurs en costume de topiaires dit « fragiles ». C’est à ce moment-là que nous avons posé la question du dynamisme du spectacle. La réponse a été qu’il sera bien dynamique. Bas, désolé à Disney, c’est bien le contraire qui se fait ressentir. Les mouvements limités de ces danseurs rendent le tout lent, les drivers des décors en taupières ne font rien dans le spectacle pas de danse, pas d’interaction, juste le sourire et l’attente, mis à part déclencher des confettis au passage de Dingo. Le gros problème est le show stop en lui-même, ça coupe tout dynamisme. Personne ne peut voir tous les personnages Disney en un spectacle, forçant à revoir une prestation.During the presentation of the season it was announced, a show stop, non animated decorations (push unit) and of the dancers costumed in topiaries said « fragile ». It is at this time that we asked the question of the vitality of the show. The response has been that it will be well dynamic. Sorry Disney, it is the contrary. Movements of these dancers make it very slow, the drivers of the taupieres decorations do make nothing in the show, no dance, no interaction, just smile and waiting, apart from triggering confetti to the passage of Goofy. The big problem is the show stop itself, it cuts any dynamism. No one can see all the Disney characters in a show, forcing him to come back for see all characters.

En conclusion, là où Disney aurais pu faire simple, efficace en reprenant le même spectacle en changeant les 3 musiques de Mary Poppins, l’ensemble fut revue pour au final être de moindre qualité. Le spectacle de la balade printanière de l’année dernière avec les push unit aurait suffi.In conclusion, there where Disney could have to make simple, effective in taking the same show by changing the 3 musics of Mary Poppins, all was revised to ultimately be of lesser quality. The spectacle of « Disney’s Spring Promenade » from last year with the push unit would have sufficed.

Welcome to Spring
Here, we are with Mary Poppins, Bert, the 4 penguins and his henchmen in a dynamic dance performance that we like. But, it is when the end of the show is that the problems are obvious. No dialogue and reuse of the only music of the spectacle of « Disney’s Spring Promenade » last year, playing here, at the Royal Castle Stage in addition to Central Plaza. A lack of dialogue blatant especially for final salvation that makes the scene worthy of a Charlie Chaplin film with dancers mimicking lips without that there is of sound.

For us, the reuse of « spring fever » should have been made in version Sung with the dances of performers and during a second and last « spring fever » but now in a instrumental version with a spiel announcing final salvation from the performers. Like that, it’s not a shocking end , and a reminder at the main show on Central Plaza.
That said, the performance is undeniably well made and executed. We have here the best show of the season.

Minnie’s Little Spring Train
The idea is there but not complete. To make this parade most remarkable and a true animation, the addition of performers dancing before and behind the train would make more majestic and not a sinple train making a tour of Main Street.

Yet once we are very critical today. It is the first time that we so harsh sum . The reason is simple, we are fortunate to have this season (which is not the case outside of Tokyo Disneyland) and we find that the first edition was transformed for an experience less good, a updating it by changing the form and not the substance of the shows would have sufficed. Now we have a sympathetic season but no more.
Our day of visit was on February 28, the eve of the launch of the season. A soft-opening made by Disney to do these first full-scale tests and to have the opinions to improve things. That said and hopefully that’s the case, that visitors will see a wonderfull season as we we loved discovering that from 2014, the best to date.

Renovations to Discoveryland continues with Videopolis under tarp, as the canon of Space Mountain Mission 2 and the Nautilus. The scaffolding have still to mount on the walls under the dome of Space Mountain.
